And how to rock green.
Today is St. Patrick’s Day and we can only bet that you’re trying to find ways to tie green into your look today, so we’ve got some suggestions for the best ways to do so. Ranked from least to most adventurous, so you can determine how Irish you really want to be today.
1: For the light-hearted
The eas for St. Patty’s day is just to go green with nail polish. And it just so happens that sea foam green is a trending color this Spring – so consider purchasing it as an investment for the season to come. Or, of course, you can go full-out green if you’re really in the spirit!
Here are some of our green favorites: Revlon Nail Enamel Mayan Riviera, Revlon Nail Enamel 571 Posh and Butter London Nail Lacquer Vernis Slapper
2: A Little Eye-Shadow
Green eyeshadow is admittedly hard to rock, but there are a few variations you can experiment with. The first is a more toned-down approach to using green. We suggest taking your shade of green and blending from your lashes to crease and then, use a small angled brush to drag the shadow along your lower lashes much like you would a smokey eye. Accentuate the look with winged eyeliner and long, curled lashes. This look will allow you to still have green without doing a full green lid. We recommend trying Sisley’s Phyto Eye Twist Long Lasting Eyeshadow in Khaki as a bottom layer. (was $50, now $42.95)
3. Full-Green
We love love love this look for those fully willing to give St. Patty’s day their all. Much like our previous look, you’re going to want to accentuate with a winged eye. However, instead of going for a smokey eye look here, you’re going to want to do the full lid. Start with your lightest color, probably a light cream. Then move to your middle hue and your darkest green as your final shade. Top your lids with a little loose glitter before elongating your eye with a little wing. Use this great Guerlain palette, Guerlain Long Lasting Eyeshadows Captivating 4 Colors in Les Verts to complete the look. (was $65, now $48.95)
4. Kiss Me, I’m Irish
We give mad props to anyone who can rock a green lip. And we see this as the ultimate dedication to St. Patrick’s Day and properly doing green. We suggest a matte green lipstick, definitely prepped in advance with a sure-proof lip primer. If you want to take it a step further, we recommend La Prairie’s Cellular Luxe Lip Enhancer to fully plump and define your bold, green lip. (was $50, now $45.95)
So choose your level of Irish ladies, and kill it this St. Patty’s Day!
